SPOILER ALERT

On last night's episode of Scandal we saw Olivia Pope FINALLY put her foot down with President Fitz. She was done with his games. Liv didn't want to be his mistress anymore. She was ready to move on with her life and find real love. But Fitz wasn't having it. He wanted her back.

Brief recap: Many episodes ago, Fitz told Liv that he would be divorcing Mellie (the First Lady) for her. He said to Liv (in his sexy whisper), "Wait for me." And what does Liv do? She waits for him, denying a marriage proposal from another guy. But when she goes to claim the love of her life, Fitzgerald Grant, he tells her that he is going to stay with his wife. Because she sacrificed her own morals to rig the election for him.

But we all saw that coming, right? Pro tip: When a man tells you to "wait" for him, don't. Save your sanity and just go about your life. Any guy who really wants to be with you will go out of his way to make you two a thing.

ANYWAY. Back to last night's episode...

So Fitz had the audacity to call her, demanding she come see him. Liv didn't want to, but she went anyway (of course). She stormed into the Oval Office, saying "WHAT?!" Takes off gloves. They have a squabble with Fitz demanding she sits down and Liv being adamant that she won't. And then she delivers the best line ever: "YOU WANT ME?! EARN ME."

BOOM.

THIS is where we learn how you can put a dude in his place if he isn't treating you right. You need to know your worth. You only accept the love you think you deserve and Liv FINALLY realized she deserved better. She told Fitz what to do and well, he actually went out of his way to earn her back.

How exactly he did it, will be up for you to watch. But it did end with hot shower sex.
